As the pressures of inequality build, more people are looking to the foundations of our economic system to understand what can be done.

Permaculture design offers a unique approach to system design as it aims to create self-supporting and regenerative systems.

In this piece - originally presented at the Australian Permaculture Convergence - I outline some of the main structural issues we face and how to design new ways of sharing resources in our communities that leave no one behind.

I'm working on an update to this presentation so would value any feedback. Link contains written and video versions.

Did you know that more is known about outer space than what goes on in our soil? Soil is where pretty much all land-based life starts and there are so many things we can do to take care of it! It's time to stop looking up, messing around and freakin' out - we need to get DOWN to tending the ground we live on!

For a great movie about how amazing soil is: https://kissthegroundmovie.com/

I've only planted a few thousand in my 70 years. #Permaculture colleagues have planted 10,000 in one day (with a tractor-pulled planter) and millions over the course of their careers. Most people are slackers in this department, IMHO, though there is plenty of room for improvement.
